“They warned us that it
would effect us,” Ross said.
“But it still took everything
just to keep us from tearing
up.”
Camp-00-U-La, which
according to the GFBF Web
site comes from the
Cherokee words for “cool
running water,” a first line
of defense in treating burns,
has been held at the Rock
Eagle 4-H Center in
Eatonton for more than a
decade. The camp is also
known as “Camp Cool.”
“We had different events
every day, from kayaking,
fishing, canoeing and swim
ming,” Ross said. “The kids
even had a prom, which they
really enjoyed.”
Ross said he felt the camp
helps burn victims mesh
into society, helping them
learn that their burns will
not hold them back from
achieving their dreams.
“There was one boy there,
J.J., he didn’t want to stay,”
Ross said. “He had never
been away from home. But
we convinced him to stay
and he had a good time.”
Ross said the 12-year-old,
who had visible scars on
both his arms and his legs,
didn’t know what to expect
from the camp.
“He had never learned to
ride a bicycle, so we taught
him,” Ross said. “That was
great.”
Ross said the boy went on
to win a fishing competition
and his team won a 3-on-3

“When we were leaving,
he came up to me and said
he wanted be back next year,
he even said he wanted to be
a counselor,” Ross said.
Burn victims from across
Georgia gather every year at
the camp, which has grown
according to the GFBF web
site from 23 campers in
1993 to 106 in 2002.
“Now that I’ve worked
with these kids,” Ross said,
“I can deal with it. I know I
can tell them that things are
going to be alright. I want to
do that now.”

fighter are preparing to ask
